Now working at EA, Guildford

So my day job has now relocated (meh!) and I now work in Guildford.

The office desks seem a bit more crammed (and the building lacks the style of Chertsey) but other than that everything is very much the same.

The perks haven't changed, there are still arcade machines and consoles to play in lunch breaks and fruit + gym are still free (major perk!)

Also the added benefit of working in Guildford means that there are actually shops nearby at lunchtime (something which EA Chertsey lacked).

Apparently there's a record shop called Dance2 nearby which I will check out soon...

Working at EA, Chertsey

It's not often that I'd mention my day job(s) on here (because quite frankly, there's normally nothing to tell) but today, finally something worthy has happened!

I successfully landed a role in the Creative Team at Electronic Arts Ltd in the UK recently and today was my first day in my new position.

This opportunity is something I had been searching for a while as my main other career interest (other music) has always been to work in the video games industry (something I've been obsessed with since childhood).
I no longer devote long hours to playing games anymore (as I simply can't) but still enjoy learning about the creation process behind them and aim to create my own one day.

So the role itself? It's great! Nice people, amazing environment (the Chertsey building has to be seen to be believed), great canteen food (more like a restaurant), free fruit, free soft drinks, free consoles and arcade machines to play by reception...oh, and located in a closed off party of Chertsey (complete with a lake).
Pretty much perfect basically.

It is only a 1 year contract position but I'm going to make the most of it.
The only downer so far is that this Chertsey building is being closed down next month and we're all being moved to new offices in Guildford.

Oh well.

Blazin' Fire signed to Valve

It's been a while, but finally I have a tune signed again!

As was working freelance earlier in the year, it provided me with a bit more time to concentrate on music again.

Luckily these efforts have paid off and Valve want to release my 4/4 D&B tune "Blazin' Fire" on a forthcoming compilation EP (featuring Dillinja, Lemon D and Friction).


Not sure when it will be out but I will keep you posted.
